The man arrested in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO is being held without bail after a New York federal court appearance on charges including a death-eligible murder count.
They don’t want riots. Riots are the last thing they want. This whole trial will be a show of force and bullying from them. It will be to make an example of him to try and cower the rest of us into submission.
We already found out if they’re going for it, they are.
Do you think they’ll get the death penalty and not enforce it?
Like, I don’t understand what you think we’ll find out later. Or why we haven’t crossed your personal threshold for them wanting the death penalty yet.
That’s how it works, yes. Somebody being eligible for the death sentence doesn’t mean that the prosecution is going to push for it or that the jury will decide it is warranted versus life in prison or some other sentence.
Penalties for being found guilty of a crime are “up to” whatever the max is. You don’t automatically get the max.
That’s the state charge, and the state does not have the death penalty. The federal charge of murder with a firearm carries the potential for the death penalty.
There won’t be any riots. The reason this guy acted at all is because the people are too cowed. There are thousands of people in the same position as him, but none of them are taking any action. Tens of thousands more are in a similar position, but are they already in the streets? No.
This guy is a celebrity because he’s doing what everyone wishes they could do, but are afraid to do themselves. The quick arrest and trial are to remind people of what will happen to them, too, if they step out of line.
I feel like the statistical chances this is the only guy, even just in the USA itself with a 300 million plus population, capable and willing to do this would be insane. This was domino one, we’re just waiting on the who/what domino two is.
I think a big part of the problem with that coming to be so is that there is probably a majority of people who understand that our health care system is screwed and screws people over, but so many of them don’t have any idea or understanding of why. And they’re not aware of the class war.
They won’t give him the death penalty. They would have fucking riots on their hands.
Bruh…
They want riots. Didn’t you pay attention to BLM?
They’re absolutely desperate for some shit to pop off so they can call people against the American healthcare industry a violent mob.
They want anything other than a repeat
It’ll wait until Trump comes in the declare martial law, allowing him to bypass future elections until resolved… Or some bullshit.
I disagree.
They don’t want riots. Riots are the last thing they want. This whole trial will be a show of force and bullying from them. It will be to make an example of him to try and cower the rest of us into submission.
I guess we’ll find out.
What?

Something tells me the jury will find he is not a threat to society and doesn’t deserve death or being corrupted by prison.
The reason they included the spurious terrorism charge is that’s what takes it to murder 1 and the death penalty…
I’m sorry, I assumed everyone was up to speed, I shouldn’t have.

I think you’re right, but I don’t want you to be.
I feel like the statistical chances this is the only guy, even just in the USA itself with a 300 million plus population, capable and willing to do this would be insane. This was domino one, we’re just waiting on the who/what domino two is.
Hopefully you’re right.
